Mowasalat (Karwa) has replaced around 90% of its taxi fleet with eco-friendly hybrid vehicles in order to minimise carbon emissions, thereby contributing to the country's efforts to reduce carbon footprint, conserve the environment, and combat climate change. It has electrified a substantial section of its bus fleet in order to achieve zero emissions and low noise pollution. The electric buses are entirely adapted to meet the demands of Qatar's traffic and weather conditions, and are equipped with a 350 kWh lithium-ion battery, the most advanced and safest proven battery technology in the automotive industry, with an average range of more than 200 km per full charge.
Strict adherence to the most stringent safety standards, as well as a local inspection procedure, ensuring that all technical and operational elements comply with all legislation. Mowasalat (Karwa) is continually pushing for digital solutions to increase operational efficiency, which is also a decisive factor for cleaner transport and a better community environment. The organisation recognises the importance of successfully managing valuable resources and has taken significant steps to cut water and power use.
Mowasalat (Karwa) invests extensively in reducing carbon emissions from its conventional fleet, therefore benefiting Qatar's environment and assisting Qatar's transition away from a hydrocarbon-based economy and towards a greener future. It continues to seek new possibilities for sustainable growth and is committed to environmental preservation.
In accordance with the Qatar National Vision 2030, the firm intends to contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable Qatar for future generations through continuing efforts and collaborations. As the national firm for solutions in individual and mass transportation, as well as mobility services for large events, it played an essential role. Its Karwa Driving School provides the greatest instruction for both the general public and professionals.
